Probable Thursday Davis (back) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Davis had an impressive performance in Tuesday's loss to the Warriors, posting 27 points, six rebounds, four steals and one block in 36 minutes.

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • SACBEE.COM

Vintage performance Tuesday Davis produced 27 points (10-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, one block and four steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-109 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Davis chalked up gaudy numbers on both ends of the floor, reminding everyone just what he is capable of when healthy. Coming off another injury-plagued season, Davis is likely keen to prove he can still carry a team into the playoffs. His well-documented injury history resulted in many fantasy managers steering clear of him in drafts, allowing him to be selected toward the end of the second round. If he can stay on the floor, he could prove to be a huge difference-maker in both fantasy and reality.

Participates in shootaround Davis (back) participated in the team's shootaround ahead of Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Warriors, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Impact Davis, LeBron James (foot) and Russell Westbrook (hamstring) are all listed as probable and went through shootaround, which suggests that the Lakers will have all three available Tuesday. After winning the championship during his first campaign in Los Angeles, Davis has appeared in only 76 games over the last two seasons, so his health will be a major factor in Los Angeles' success during the 2022-23 campaign.
